Mozambique Bans Meat Imports From Zimbabwe

Mozambique has banned the importation of animals and animal products and by-products from Zimbabwe following an outbreak of the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease in Mashonaland Central Province.

According to a report by the Mozambique News Agency, the country has also banned the importation of wild ungulates and fodder for cattle, goats, pigs, and sheep from Zimbabwe. The report says:

The Mozambican government has prohibited the import of animals and animal products and by-products from Zimbabwe due to the resurgence of cases of foot-and-mouth disease in that country.

The measure comes after the Zimbabwean Tax Authority notified the Mozambican authorities on 27 May about the outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease in Mashonaland Central province which borders Mozambique.

The Mozambican government has also decided to ban the import of wild ungulates and fodder for cattle, goats, pigs, and sheep.
